I don't think money is a huge issue with him and he's won a championship so getting another ring isn't a big motivational factor. I wouldn't be to excited until I see Bolden on that podium telling us how excited he is to be a Niner.
"... It was shocking at first ... but I mean it, for me, it is also a good thing. ... When I look at the organization and what they're about ... and as a football team, the talent that they have ... I think it's good, a good place for me to be," he told ESPN.

Does that sound like a guy ready to hang them up? He's not coming to the 2008 49ers......he's coming to a Superbowl contender with a franchise QB and a talent all over the place. He's better off with the 49ers than with the decimated Ravens at this point.
